Hot on the heels of their earnings call, Apple released the fourth version of the iPhone SDK beta. The SDK now supports OpenGL ES for the iPhone simulator.
The fourth beta version of the iPhone SDK includes Xcode IDE, iPhone simulator with Open GL ES support, Interface Builder, Instruments, frameworks and samples, compilers, and Shark analysis tool.
You can grab the update by logging into the iPhone Developer Center and clicking the download link.
I’d recently added a few new email accounts to Mail.app and when I went to sync my iPhone it threw back the following error:
“iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone “Aaron Nelsen’s iPhone” because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.”
Here’s what ended up fixing it for me: Next time you go to sync, click on the info tab in iTunes and uncheck the Sync selected Mail accounts box. Click Apply.
Close iTunes and disconnect your iPhone.
Next, open iSync (Applications -> iSync)
Open the iSync preferences. Hit “Reset Sync History”. Confirm your choice when it asks for confirmation.
Close iSync. Open iTunes, connect the iPhone and try syncing again. You will need to go back to the Info tab and recheck the Sync selected Mail accounts.
Apple just dropped version 3.1.1 of Safari, as well as version 1.5.1 of the Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update.

This update is recommend for all Safari users and includes improvements to stability, compatibility and security.
This update fixes several issues to improve the stability of MacBook Pro computers.
After the firmware is successfully applied to your Mac, your Boot ROM Version will be:
MBP21.00A5.B08 or MBP31.0070.B07You can confirm the version of the Boot ROM installed on your computer using System Profiler.
Remember kids, tomorrow Apple is set to release its Q2 earnings after market close. While their earnings should be impressive and likely beat the market expectations of $1.11 per share, it’s the Q3 guidance people will really be focused on. As we’ve seen in the past an overly conservative outlook can destroy investor confidence in a hurry (see Apples Q2 outlook as reported with their Q1 earnings), almost as much as missing a quarters projected EPS.
With the economy in a slow down Apple’s pricey computers and accessories may not be as likely to move, which is a point thats been raised over and over by analysts. It should be noted that some believe that Apple’s high prices make it recession proof, purely from the standpoint that they can drop the price per computer by $300 and still make a handsome profit. Apple dropping their prices… Yeah, that’s likely to happen (please pay attention to the dripping sarcasm there).
However, the impending launch of the 3G iPhone coupled with the expanding availability of the iPhone in other countries should do nicely for offsetting any slow down in computer sales. Although since investors tend to act like a bunch of girls, they may see a decrease in computer sales as bad news and run scared.
Let’s try and focus on Apple as a whole, not just their computer division… Mm’kay? After all, they did drop the Computers from the name, remember?
In the interest of full disclosure, I own shares in Apple Inc. so I might be biased, yeah, maybe a little.
p.s. Remind me to sell when Apple hits $200
